STOVE- HOOD.

SPECIFICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,398, dated January6, 1885.

Application filed June 26, 1884. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, Asa S. FrsK, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Stevensville, in the county of Bradford and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inStove-Hoods; and Idohereby declare the following to be afull, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or 'gures ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to attachments for stoves; and it consists in theimprovements hereinafter fully described and set forth, whereby a deviceis provided that may be readily attached and connected to astove-pipe,so as to be capable of conveying from the stove into the said pipe thecoal and other noxious gases, and kat the same time capable of beingadjusted out of the way when not in use.

The invention further contemplates theprovision of a supporting-shelf inconnection with the attachment. i

In the accompanying drawings, forming p art of this specification,Figure lis a perspective view illustrating a stove and stove-pipe andimproved attachment in connection therewith. Fig. 2 is a centra-lsectional view of Fig. l.

The attachment consists,primarily, of an inclined pipe, A, the upper endof which intersects and communicates with the stove-pipe B, the lowerend of said pipe Aterminating in a flaring mouth or funnel, a.. A11opening, b, is formed in the under sido ofthe pipe A, adjacent to thefunnel a, and from said pipe at the point of said opening dependsavertical pipesection, C.' This pipe-section C' is supported and bracedrelative to the stove-pipe B by means of two bands, c, located,respectively, near the upper and lower portions of the pipe G,each ofsaid bands consisting of a smallloop, which embraces the said section C,and a large loop which encircles the stove-pipe B, the parts of the saidbands being rigidly secured by means of rivets d. A second verticalpipesection, D, plays snugly within the section C, and has connected toit at its lower end a funnel or conical section, E, the lower larger endof which is secured to the top of a hood, F, at the point of an openingtherein. The said hood F consists of a cap or shell, which is adapted tocover the upper portion or top of the stove, and has rear side wings, c,and a rear depending portion, f, which are respectively adapted toembrace a portion ofthe side and rear of the stove, thereby preventinglateral displacement of said hoodF with respect 'to the stove, and atthe same time presenting a shield or guard, which prevents the cookingor gaseous fumes from passing beneath the rear of said hood, andinsuring the proper draft from the front of said hood up through theconical pipe-section E. A pan, G, is secured on the top of the hood F,as illustrated. It is pierced by the conical section E, and is providedwitha series of peiforatio1is,g. The rear side of the pan is extendedvertically to form a wall, 7i, which is braced with respect to thepan-bottom by means of diagonal braces z'. Two curved bands, j, aresecured to the rear face ofthe wall l1, as illustrated,and their freeends are bent parallel with each other and perforated for the passage ofa thumb-screw,

which serves to clamp said sections rigidly around the pipe B. A coiledspring, Z, embraces the pipe B, and is secured at its ends centrally tothe lower portion of a depending section, f, of the hood. A rod, m,isconnccted at its lower end to the coiled spring Z,whiie its upper endis looped to embrace the threaded portion of a nut, L', between theparallel portions ofthe clamp-sectionsj. This arrangement presents asupport below the stove-top for the hood, the adoption of the coiledspring enabling the same to be readily distended in moving the same uponthe stove-pipe in adjusting the hood. A damper, n, is located at thebottom of the pipe-section D, and serves to interrupt the draft passingfrom under the hood F to the stove-pipe B. Aninclined section, o, islocated in the pipe A at one side of the opening b, and serves toproperly direct the fumes and gases passing from the hood into the pipeB.

It will be apparent that the section D and the hood F, together with itsclamp and coiled spring, may be adjusted on the pipe B so as to coverand set close on the top ofthe stove, so as to carry the gas and fumesup into the pipe IOO B, such draft being promoted by reason of airpassing through funnel a and pipeA to the stove-pipe B. It will befurther obvious that when the hood F rests upon the top of the stove, asbefore explained, it will become highly heated, and articles may beplaced on the pan or shelf G and warmed.

lVhen it is not desired to use the hood, the pipe D can be shoved intothe pipe-section C, thereby elevating the hood F and pan G, which can insuch elevated position be utilized as a pipe-shelf.

I am aware of theexpired patent granted to Daball, September26,1835,forstove-hoods, and of the features of construction set forththerein; I therefore make no broad claim to any of such features.

I claiml. The combination, in a stove attachment, of a pipe-sectionadapted for attachment to the upper portion ofthe stove-pipe. andprovided at its free end with a funnel or flaring mouth, a verticalpipe-section depending` from said first-mentioned pipe-section andhaving devices for the attachment of the same to the stove-pipe, asecond pipe-section sliding in said rst vertical section and adjustablysecured to the stove-pipe and provided at its lower end with a hood orcap, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, in a stove attachment, of an inclined pipe-section,A, adapted for attachment to the upper portion of the stovepipe, avertical pipe-section depending from the saine and having devices forits attachment to the stove-pipe, and a pipe-section, D, slidingin saidvertical section and carrying a combined hood and shelf at its lowerend, substantially as set forth.

The combination, in astove attachment, of an inclined section, A,adapted for attachment to the upper portion of the stove-pipe, asection, C, depending from said section A and carrying devices for itsattachment to the said stove-pipe, and a hood, F, located at the lowerportion of a section, D, sliding in the section G, the said hood bei-ngprovided with side and rear wings, ef, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, in a stove attachment, of an inclined pipe,A,adapted for connection to the stove-pipe, a section,G, depending fromthe pipe A and carrying devices for its attachment to said stove-pipe,asection, D, sliding in said section C and carrying a hood, F, at itslower portion, an adjustable clamp for the upper portion of the hood,and a spiral spring embracing the lower portion ofthe stove-pipe andsecured to the lower portion of the hood, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, in astove attaclnnent, of an inclined pipe-sectionadapted for attachment to the upper portion of the stove-pipe, andprovided at one end with a funnel or flaring mouth, a vertical pipe, C,communieating with and depending from said pipesection, a pipe, D,playing in said pipe C and carrying a hood at its lower end, and aninclined section, o, 'located in the inclined pipesection at one side ofthe point at which the pipe C connects, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
